Course description and aims

[Summary of Lecture] This course focuses on the energy operation in chemical industry and basic knowledge for energy conversion. Topics in the energy operation include heat exchanger, evaporation operation, and heat transfer in those processes. Topics in the energy conversion cover exergy, Carnot cycle, Rankine cycle, and heat pump.
[Aim of Lecture] This lecture aims for students to understand fundamental knowledge and design concept about energy operation and energy conversion in chemical industry.

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this course, student will be able to explain: 1) fundamentals and heat transfer mechanism of heat exchanger and evaporation operation, 2) design method of heat exchanger, 3) fundamentals and cycles of heat-work energy conversion system.

Keywords

Heat exchanger, Evaporation operation, Carnot cycle, Exergy, Gas cycle, Steam cycle, Rankine cycle, Heat pump

Competencies that will be developed

✔ Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills ✔ Critical thinking skills ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

At the beginning of each class, solutions to exercise problems that were assigned during the previous class are reviewed. Then the main points of the day’s lecture are given as exercise. At the end of class, students are asked to solve the exercise.
